This would fall down into a semantic debate over what is meant by intelligence.

There is a well known phenomenon known as the AI effect: when something works we start calling it something else, not AI. Heuristics and complex reasoning trees were once called AI. Fuzzy logic with control systems was once called AI. Clustering was once called AI. And so on…

This certainly has one root in human or carbon-based life cheuvanism but I think there’s something essential happening too. With each innovation we see its limits and it causes us to go back and realize that what we colloquially call intelligence was more than we thought it was.

Intelligence predicts, but is prediction intelligence?

Again, here by intelligence I mean what complex living organisms and humans do.

I still believe there are things going on here not modeled by any CS system and not well understood. Not magic, just not solved yet. We are reverse engineering billions of years of evolution folks. We won’t figure it all out in a few decades.
Great to see Netflix being derided, I instantly feel soothed.

One other curious and quite insufferable thing which exists now is when a show/movie/game will give an unmistakeable and unsubtle nod to some other bit of media or information, either from the show/movie/game itself, or some other show/movie/game/cultural artefact.

And the learned and informed modern-media-gooner who is "in-the-know" will go: "aaaaaaha!" and "oooooh, clever!"

How has this happened? How is it considered so substantive and sophisticated for a show to make surface-level nods to other media? Please, someone explain this phenomenon to me.

I think Rick and Morty do a good job ridiculing this trope, but it doesn't seem to have been effective at slowing the tide. When a movie or a rap song alludes to something outside of itself or makes a meta-comment about itself, or breaks the fourth wall in some way, people are titillated beyond belief, I find.

What exactly is tickling them so hard?
Yes, it’s only $4 retrospectively due to splits. At the time the price was listed higher.
Atheism is not a religion but the single belief that there is no all-powerful sentient being organising the human world, which is a staple of Western religions. The corollary being that anybody believing in God is delusional and/or manipulative. This usually stems from the realization that religious leaders are abusing their followers, using cognitive dissonance to force people to do things that run counter to their most basic interests while serving parasitic power structures.

Unfortunately atheism has the side effect of weakening the social constructs that organized religion brings. Not being a religion itself, it does not prescribe any replacement rituals.

The Japanese stance you describe would better be described as agnosticism, the belief that God's existence doesn't matter. This allows to mix and match existing rituals and beliefs into a coherent whole and puts the individual back into the driving position. It's a very sane way of handling fragmentation of belief and what I believe more people should be doing.
Haven't read either article (since my gf told me about it as it happened) so I don't know which submission should be kept (perhaps both), but for discussion, this was submitted an hour earlier and currently has 32 comments: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42530237
Power on a ship isn't like power on land. It may be that this gear was all on one phase of the 3-phase generator output, which would make sense if this was radio equipment. Overloading a particular phase/circuit with unplanned-for equipment can quickly trip switches and other safety system, cascading into a blackout.

That's fair, though if you were seriously looking for a comment that purports to completely solve a problem of this magnitude, especially this particular problem, you're not going to find one, here or anywhere. What can one person do to change an entire generation?

But suppose for the sake of argument that I was assigned the responsibility to figure it out. The approach I would take is to leave no stone unturned to find every method to maximize the propagation of quality information, like Google did before they became evil. Now they stand in the way of it.

Maybe instead of voting, one can lobby for ways to legislatively make this easier. And maybe it is possible to move the needle there as I've yet to come across such an effort that has been a source of inspiration. But maybe they just don't show up in the search results.
To paraphrase Chomsky: When we do it, it’s just. When they do it, it’s terrorism.
Agree to disagree.

My experience is that it’s quite a bit more nuanced and complex than that.

The uncertainty works both ways. I don’t know at the moment I open a position when or if someone qualified will apply or be hired. I don’t even know with precision exactly when positions open up. How long is the grace period for taking down open job positions after one is filled? 3 days? 1? An hour? Just the mechanics of filling out HR paperwork means there’s lag between reality and the job posting. If I’m constantly opening/closing positions (as one would be at a team size of 500) there’s just as much chance of a position actually being open and not having a listing as the other way around if I’m attempting to always update the posting.

I do know that a chunk of applicants will be baristas, uber drivers, and construction works, another chunk will have keyword-optimized resumes that are incomprehensible, and many more will simply be too junior for a role because everyone is aiming high hoping to make to their next move. Employers are absolutely flooded with garbage.

Similarly, when trying to hire I spend most of my time on it between resume reviews, phone screenings, and actual interviews. It’s incredibly labor intensive to hire good engineers and/or technical managers. I’m working just as hard as the applicants.

I don’t use vague language. If it’s the case that I don’t have a position open at the moment of a phone screen, I tell an applicant when and how many positions I expect to have open.

And it’s not just the time spent on the process. It takes weeks to months to restart the process after it’s shut down. You have to update job descriptions, train your talent team on what to look for in resumes, train engineers on how to do technical interviews, and may sure they are “calibrated”. If they are out of practice they fumble the interviews and the company looks bad to applicants, and they tend over-estimate an interviewee’s performance because they don’t have a recent point of comparison to work with. This means I have to do 5-10 throw-away interviews to grease the wheels. If I fully stopped a pipeline and treated each position as a special snowflake, and everyone else in the world did the same, it’d just create even _more_ overhead for all parties involved.

I’m not saying it’s a good system. But humans are human and on balance any system is going to be gamed. There’s no way around that. For every one applicant who’s only applying to jobs they are interested in and qualified for there's 10 more just spamming every posting they come across. As a hiring manager I have to deal with that reality. The only way I know to reduce that overhead is to not add more by grinding the hiring pipeline to a halt whenever a position is filled.
On desktop I use YouTube music because of how bad the Apple Music app is. On mobile, I use Apple Music.
The reason why Magnus leaving is a spectacle is because of us and what we want out of our superstars, otherwise he's just another player, and players drop out all the time for any reason and nobody cares.

The masses are the ones who elevate him and assume that because he plays a game so well then the spotlight must be on him. Magnus did not seize the spotlight of our attention and he never owned it.
YouTube music on iOS and Android is very similar to the other music apps. https://apps.apple.com/us/app/youtube-music/id1017492454 with a 4.8 on iOS, so people seem to like it.

https://music.youtube.com/ is similar to the web apps.

If you're using the video YouTube for music, you're not on the right app.

I have both Apple Music (via One Premium) and YouTube Music via YT Premium, and I lean on YT Music overwhelmingly. Its algorithmic playlists are just a universe better.
But does Spotify pay the same rate to each artist, or does the rate depend on what deal an artist's record company has with Spotify?
I don't think they actually do. They're not dumb or crazy. What I think sets Chinese companies apart from Western counterparts is their aptitude for making money through selling physical things. Everyone else drove off to casinos and they're the last ones in the factory dirtying hands.
We had a big SEO spam problem with our forum, even with verified email addresses. I guess it is pretty easy to get a gmail address.

We fixed it by:

* moderating everyone's first post

* banning spam accounts liberally

* only allowing folks with a certain level of karma to post without moderation

* deleting any spam posts that sneak through, then warning or banning the poster

I think you need to spend some time managing your UGC.

YouTube Music is one of the worst pieces of software ever created. That's the only reason I use Spotify at all. YTM on Android crashes randomly, playback stops randomly, it forgets your playback position in podcasts randomly, sometimes it breaks itself so hard that you have to hard reboot your phone to fix it. It's incredible.
I tried to sign up for Kick and received an email that you don’t support my industry. Were an artist studio that makes and retails physical goods. Do you expect to support more industries soon?
I'm in my 30s, and somehow people think it's a miracle I don't have bad back problems after sitting at least 6 hours a day in front of the computer, while the only miracle performed is me going to a store to get a personalized recommendation based on how I like to sit, and invest hard in getting a proper chair.

First thing I ask when people complain about bad backs, is what chair they use. Often they've just grabbed some chair after going window shopping, instead of aiming for personalized recommendations from a professional. Often, they're using these shitty "gaming" chairs. Sometimes though, they've just read a bunch of the internet about how good Aeron chairs are, so they bought those, not understanding not every chair fits every sitting style...

One doesn't even need to pay for YouTube. Just install Brave browser.
Habits and familiarity are pretty powerful forces.
Spotify has awesome playlists, both from the community and curated by the company itself.

YouTube is much worse at that, last time I checked. Mostly shitty spam, as with everything Google.

I don't really listen to individual songs or albums, but look for "classic rock for workouts" or "relaxing instrumental for work" etc. Spotify is great for that.
A warning would be 'lay off or we might hurt your cables'. Attempting to break all the things counts as an attack, a crime, or if you don't want to say crime you might say, an act of war.

I wasn't aware Russia was at open war with NATO, but perhaps their desperation has grown to the point where they are at open war with NATO now.
Is lockpicking the real world equivalent of hacking?
I really like the Amish approach to technology, but don't think most people are aware of the nuance: they aren't against technology, but critically evaluate the net benefit, and adopt it if it seems like a benefit to them, not just because they can. Plenty of Amish use modern technology when they feel it is appropriate- a lot of them are running businesses that require computers, power tools, and high speed travel to make a living - I see them on Amtrak frequently.

However, I do wonder if they are still able to make coherent decisions about the net benefits of various technologies, without a deep level of technical and scientific training nowadays. Living up against a world of people not making the same choices as them would present a lot of new challenges- for example, if a chemical factory is placed nearby... are they learning how to use mass spec to see if they are being poisoned? Or to read scientific literature to see what the likely risks and impacts of that poisoning is? Sure they could hire external experts, but can they trust people that don't share their views and values to navigate those issues as they would?

Taking personal responsibility for if a technology is appropriate to use or not may require an even deeper level of technical and scientific knowledge than the usual approach of not being critical of technology.

Which route was this?
> if I were to define only one operation (checking whether two TV's are the same), would it make it a good abstraction, as now it is both sound and precise?

It would!

> And what are the practical benefits of using this definition of abstraction?

Uhhh...that it's actually a coherent definition, and it's hard to think or speak clearly without coherent definitions?

If you're talking about using it in communication, then yeah, if you can't educate your coworkers, you have to find a common language. They should understand all the words for things that aren't abstraction except maybe "concept," and when they use the word "abstraction," you'll have to deduce or ask which of the many things they may be referring to.

If you're talking about using it for programming: you kinda can't not use it. It is impossible to reason or write about code without employing abstraction somewhere. What you can do is get better about finding good abstractions, and more consistent about making behavior well defined on abstract states. If you're able to write in a comment "If this function returns success, then a table has been reserved for the requesting user in the requested time slot," and the data structures do not organize the information in that way, and yet you can comment this and other functions in terms of those concepts and have them behave predictably, then you are programming with true abstraction.

In this case, not programming with true abstraction would mean one of two things:

1. You instead write "If this function returns success, then a new entry has been created in the RESERVATIONS table that....", or

2. You have another function that says "Precondition: A table has been reserved for the user in this timeslot," and yet it doesn't work in all cases where the first function returns success

I think it's pretty clear that both ways to not use true abstraction make for a sadder programming life.
What about the app don't you like? I ask because I'm done with Spotify and looking for the next service.
Could they? Do you have any evidence to share with us?
Not just intellectually but also politically (which I dont find to be particularly intellectual). By being surrounded by "your own" you live in a filter bubble that can only make you more extreme / radical. Basically all your friends vote the same as you but some do it more loudly and obnoxiously.

You miss the fact that regular people on the other side are just normal people with slightly different policy preferences. ie - they might agree climate change is real, but aren't rich enough to profess it as their #1 policy concern.
No need to be outraged, Israel is doing exactly what the US leadership wants without the US having to put her own troops on the ground.

The US security state has never given a damn about freedom or democracy or any of that. It only cares about world power which in turn is about controlling the world’s oil so China can’t get it.
Sorry you didn't enjoy it. If I recall correctly, that scene was an animated cameo by Imagine Dragons who do the theme tune (Enemy) for Arcane.

Personally, I hadn't had any contact with League of Legends and knew none of the lore before watching Arcane, but was thoroughly taken with the incredible art and story-telling. What I find surprising is the amount of character development they manage to incorporate - the first season had meaningful character arcs for almost all the characters (maybe two side characters were left out). The second season feels a bit more rushed though.
I agree it should be handled and if we can board the ship and arrest everyone inside international law it should be done.

Apple Music has the upper hand on the very high end with full lossless streaming, but that's irrelevant to almost everyone listening in a compromised situation -- like 100% of bluetooth headsets -- and YT Premium's 256Kbps AAC is extremely high quality.
> For a century, the business of running a Hollywood studio was straightforward. The more people watched films, the more money the studios made.

It handles warm reboots without power loss just fine, so it deciding now it needs to wait for power loss seems like a flaw.

More like every couple months on the road, from my experience in having driven one. Just this year here are couple of things that have occurred:

>glowplugs burnt out

>air-mass sensor failure

>faulty abs-sensor

>fuel nozzle malfunction

>brake failure

>engine back support failure

>short circuit after worn-out manufacturer divider causing massive sparking, heating and a drained battery

What seed-stage founders pay early employees, based on data
As a young film student I was once going to a film industry meeting on behalf of my professor who was fed up with TV executives at that point. It was essentially a fancy dinner with all kinds of people from the German TV industry explaining why the stuff they do is so bad and why it has to be. It was incredibly fatalistic.

Money quote of the evening: "Our average viewer is between 60 and 65 and they are not 100% there mentally when viewing, so it needs to be so simple that you can still follow along while you are ironing your shirts."

Nobody there believed they were making good entertainment, everbody in fact hated it and yet they all said it has to be that way. Theh knew they are losing the young audiences, but didn't know what to do.
I’ve always thought that super advanced aliens would be like this.

Sure they can fold space-time and have quantum computers the size of dust particles, but they also use traditional tools from their ancient history when appropriate or when it serves a role in their culture. They also don’t do absolutely everything they know how to do, deciding some things are harmful or useless.

You see this sometimes in sci-fi, e.g. Star Trek.

It’d probably be a sign of being advanced far beyond the hype phase, even having gone through many hype - disillusionment - enlightenment phases. They would be far post the phase where things look like cyberpunk, but you’d probably see phases like that in their history.
